| The [[Excavator]] is a [[Vehicles|vehicle]] used for digging. It is crafted at the [[Robotic Assembly Line]].
| |
| | |
| It is fueled with [[Petroleum]], [[Gasoline]] or [[Biodiesel]].
| |
| | |
| ==Strategy==
| |
| | |
| The Excavator requires roads that are 4 to 5 blocks wide to drive comfortably.
| |
| | |
| It can dig [[Stone]], [[Dirt]], ore, [[Sand]], and [[Coal]], and can even break tree branches. With Stone or ores, the Excavator must first break the blocks before picking up the pieces.
| |
| | |
| Items can not be dumped from the Excavator directly into [[Stockpiles]] or any other storage. Doing this will simply try to place them on top of the Stockpile, which will create issues.
| |
| | |
| Digging with the Excavator will consume more fuel than when it is being driven. It does not appear the pollution rate increases during digging.
| |
| | |
| ==Operating Instructions==
| |
| | |
| While you are in the driver's seat, mouse over the "1" slot on your toolbar. This will display the operating instructions.
| |
| | |
| Press {{Key|1}} to go from drive mode to digging mode. Pressing {{Key|1}} when driving will instantly stop you, and lock your Excavator in place.

| |
| | |
| ==Notes==
| |
| * You can use WSAD keys and Mouse commands at the same time for maximum digging! Note that left click will always dig, so while moving your boom/bucket you can dig at the same time.
| |
| * Keep in mind it is a very heavy item to carry in your inventory at 30kg. If it gets stuck you can pick it up like a cart, but you have to have the weight to do so.
